Hey 👋 yea we have gone a bit backwards with the potty/toilet training here too, she started off great last summer been using the potty for wee and poo, but last couple months just been weeing by the toilet door 🤔 not trying to get in and too late -just sitting down and weeing, we have gone back a step with her and popped her back in nappies, hoping she gets a dislike for them again and starts using the potty again, so far so good, she will take her nappy off sometimes and wee in the potty or just wee in the nappy which either way we aren’t going through copious amounts of clothes lol 🤦🏻‍♀️, hoping with the warmer weather again and being able to run around with no bottoms will help kickstart the potty training again and she is older now so hopefully no steps backwards after xx

Hi @Avie29thank you for responding - so we’ve had another breakthrough. I started paying really close attention to his signals and the minute I spotted it I say ‘looks like your body is showing signs of needing a wee/poo, let’s go sit on the toilet / let’s go help your body wee/poo in the toilet. Something along those lines and we’re back to using the toilet (he runs past saying my body is telling me) 🥹 the accidents now are if he’s waited a little too long and I missed the sign. But we now have a very boy related issue where he sits on the toilet only for it to be pointing up the way and go up and over the toilet onto his clothes anyway 🙈. So still lots of washing but at least most toilet needs are making it to the toilet.

how are you guys? I really want to do lots in the garden this year to turn the garden into a child’s play area. He had a mud kitchen but I wanna do a bigger area of just mess and stuff like that. At the moment it needs a lot of work and I feel it doesn’t really resemble a child’s garden lol

@Nclktnntt we are still hit and miss but we have been on holiday and out everyday so she has been in nappies alot this last week, she does have signs that she needs to go but when we say “oh time for potty/toilet” she will go to potty/toilet but not do anything and then have an accident 5 minutes later 🤦🏻‍♀️ tbh my older daughter went through this because she liked changing her clothes all the time, im pretty sure you can buy specifically boys toilet seats for that issue lol.
we have bought a slide and a wendy house for our DD, the wendy house has a little kitchen attached, we do have a mud kitchen attached to the wall in our garden but it was bought for our older daughter and its too high for DD, we built a big decking and built 2 bedrooms in summer houses for our eldest 2 so not alot of room in our garden now xx

@Avie29His toilet seat does have a bit that curves up to catch the boys but he likes to sit right back and aim it over 🙈 he’s also started trying to stand which is 90% successful. some days are definitely better than others.

we hve a mud kitchen but i want to make a bigger one (more space on it) we have a bunch of pallets i can use and large metal container that im thinking of chopping in half and using as a table and side unit or something. Not really decided yet on that one. I want a bigger slide for him and a climbing frame too. I got a play house of market place that needs a little paint work and putting back together and with the nice weather coming, I plan to do painting work over the next week. Once I’ve cleared the area in the garden ready lol.

we have old tyres and I’m thinking of ways I can use those too. Paint them and have them as planters, tables, climbing area. Not sure yet but I have ideas 😂
